I did some digging on Hickman in connection with his time with the St. Louis Browns Reserve club in 1884, before his time in Kansas City. I found no other references to which hand he pitched with anywhere else.

I think Richard Hershberger would be the man to ask then. He has a giant collection of 19th century clippings so I'm sure he can tell us maybe possibly. As I said I haven't interacted much with people outside of specific projects I worked on nor am I super close with him but I know of him and his collection and have talked to him at least twice ever since he's a part of protoball too.
